The next day.
The morning light was dim, and the sunlight passed through the small window, evenly shining on the bedside, and fell on the soft cheeks of the child in the center of the bed.
The maid called softly from the bedside. Shanshan got his head out of the quilt and sat down slowly. She raised her hands, and the maid skillfully put her on the Qingsong Academy uniform, then bent down to put on her shoes, and she was carried out.
It's been a long time since I went to school, and Shanshan is still a little impatient.
She hadn't seen other children in the school for many days, and she had a lot of things to say to others. As soon as she returned home, she received many gifts from others on behalf of Shi Shi, which filled her treasure chest. Even the greetings conveyed by Shi Shi were repeated for a long time. Shanshan just wished he could give his white horse a pair of wings and carry her to the school immediately.
She finished her breakfast in a hurry, grabbed her book bag and ran out impatiently.
The nurse held the bowl and chased after her: "Sister Shan, take another bite!"
Shanshan climbed onto the carriage without looking back.
Shitou was one step behind her, and when he came up he still had two bags of buns in his hands.
The steamed buns were made by the cook at home. Autumn crabs are now very plump, so I went to buy a cage of hairy crabs before dawn. I first removed the crab roe and crab meat, stir-fried the crab oil, then mixed the minced meat with it, and steamed a large cage. The other pocket is filled with sweet fillings. Red beans are boiled into bean paste, which is sweet and delicious.
The driver raised his whip and the carriage moved slowly.
The aroma came out of the unsealed bag, and Shanshan couldn't help but glance there. Shi Shi first took out a crab roe bun and handed it to her.
The buns were still piping hot, so Shan Shan held them in his hands and poured them over. Without waiting for them to cool down, he couldn't wait to take a big bite.
The scent of crab filled her mouth, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Shitou took out another red bean paste bun, opened it, put half in front of her, and stuffed the other half into his mouth.
I was already half full from my breakfast, and my stomach couldn't hold anything more. Fortunately, the steamed buns made by the cook were not big in size. Shanshan tasted one crab roe and half a bean paste, and felt quite full.
The carriage swayed, and she lay down lazily, watching Shitou quickly eat the remaining two bags of buns in two or two bites. When the twelve-point fullness in her stomach was digested to ten-tenths, the carriage also stopped at the entrance of Qingsong Academy.
Shanshan was carried out of the carriage, and before she entered the school gate, someone immediately spotted her.
"Wen Shan?!"
Not far away, a child in the same class shouted loudly, jumped out of the carriage at home, and ran towards her with his book bag in hand: "You are finally back!"
As soon as the shout came out, everyone in front of the school heard it.
In Qingsong Academy, Shanshan is still a famous figure!
Countless children came from all directions, surrounded her in the center, and asked all kinds of questions: "Wen Shan, where have you been these days?"
"I heard from my dad that your horse caused trouble in the street, so you were caught and thrown into jail. Is this true?"
"You went to jail, why are you still a little fatter than before?"
"..."
The stone pushed aside the crowd and carried Shan Shan on his back. He was much taller than the children around him. Shanshan held his shoulders, as if he were sitting on her own horse. She waved her hand and said happily: "Let's talk after we go in!"
A group of people at the entrance of the school ran in after him.
When we arrived at the teaching building, people were crowding around Shanshan's desk.
These things are a long story. She started with the story of Baima being bullied by Gao Yuan. When Baima lost control on the street, the school bell rang and the master walked in with a cane. It was already the beginning of today's class. when. Everyone was hearing the rising, and they were about to reach the most critical point, when they were suddenly interrupted. No one was willing to accept it, and they kept making noise for a while.
The master knocked several times with the cane, and then the children reluctantly returned to their seats.
After finally getting to the end of the morning class, everyone carried their food boxes and surrounded Shanshan in the center.
"Wen Shan, what happened next?"
Shanshan: "I've been arrested!"
The children gasped.
It was a prison, a place often used to scare children. Someone asked nervously: "Did you get beaten?"
"No."
"Did they whip you?"
"No." Shanshan said angrily, "It was Gao Yuan who hurt my horse. If I want to hit him, I should hit him."
"I heard from my father that Gao Yuan broke his leg and left the capital."
Shanshan is not sure either: "Really?"
"how did you do it?"
Shanshan is even more confused.
Gao Yuan bullied many people in school, and there are children here who have been bullied by him. The Gao family suddenly lost power and began to keep a low profile, but the strong wind and rain outside rarely hit them. Most people only remember how hateful Gao Yuan was and how domineering he was in the school.
At this moment, a man in school uniform stopped next to them carrying a food box. He was much older than them and looked very unfamiliar.
Someone recognized him: "Gao Yan?"
If your surname is Gao, you are from the Gao family!
The children reacted immediately and stood in front of Shanshan, watching Gao Yan warily. I'm afraid he's here to seek revenge.
But Gao Yan put down the food box in his hand, took out a few plates of snacks, and placed them in front of Shanshan.
Shanshan's eyes were blank, and Wen Jiahe asked for her: "What does the Gao family mean?"
Gao Yan said: "I heard that Miss Wen likes to eat Baozhizhai's snacks. Grandma specially sent someone to deliver them and asked me to deliver them to Miss Wen."
A person next to me interrupted: "You won't poison it, right?"
Others became wary.
Gao Yan took the initiative to pick up a piece and tasted it first to test the poison.
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who were brave enough came forward to check.
"It's really Baozhizhai's dim sum."
Gao Yan said kindly: "It was my brother who caused trouble to Miss Wen before. I hope Miss Wen won't take offense. If there is anything you can do to help me in the future, just talk to me."
Shanshan hesitated: "I...I have nothing to ask for your help."
Gao Yan: "It would be great if Miss Wen could remember the Gao family."
Shanshan reluctantly responded: "Okay."
The other people who heard this conversation looked incredulous. The only time when others ask the Gao family to do things, where is the time when the Gao family takes the initiative to get close to others?
Also give snacks?
Still...still a little brother?
Gao Yan's eyes glanced at the surprise on everyone's faces, and he roughly knew what they were thinking.
These days, there are a lot of speculations about the Gao family. No one knows why the Gao family angered the emperor and was transferred from one position to another. He was a little reluctant at first to please a little girl from a business background, but his grandmother called him over and told him the secret of the royal family in person. Those things should not be told to outsiders. Now he is only afraid and happy.
He is not as good as Gao Yuan at home. If Gao Yuan hadn't hit the wall this time, how would he have been able to get ahead?
Thinking of this, the smile on Gao Yan's face became more sincere.
Seeing him walking away, everyone was a little unable to recover.
The dim sum of Baozhizhai was really in front of them, it was not something they imagined out of thin air.
"Wen Shan, why is Gao Yan suddenly so nice to you?"
Shanshan shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then...then you were taken to jail, what happened next?"
Shanshan thought for a while: "I'm going to the palace."
Everyone couldn't help but gasped: "Enter—into the palace?!"
"Yes!"
"What did you do in the palace?"
"I lived in the palace for many days." Shanshan counted on his fingers: "I ate, slept, and played every day in the palace, and didn't do anything."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other.
The people sitting here listening to the story were all children about the same age as her. They all knew the majesty of the palace, but for a while they couldn't tell what was wrong with her words. They only knew that it was a terrible place in the world, and even their parents couldn't live there.
"Impossible." Someone immediately retorted: "Your family is not in the palace, how can you live in the palace?"
"I was injured and lost a lot of blood. The imperial doctor helped me heal it."
"In the past, my father was beaten by the emperor and he didn't live in the palace. He had to go home to find a doctor and take care of him for a long time."
Shanshan thought for a while: "The Queen Mother said she wanted me to stay in the palace to play with her, so she let me stay. I will go to see her when I go back to school for the next holiday."
"real?"
"Jiahe also went to the palace to see me. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Wen Jiahe nodded, indicating that it was indeed true.
Children:! ! !
The children became more and more incredulous: "But that's the palace!"
Shanshan used to find it strange.
Although she is young, she also knows that it is a great place and not everyone can live there.
But her curiosity went away as quickly as it came. Now the palace was full of her acquaintances, and she had slept on the emperor's bed several times. Even the emperor, whom outsiders might never see in his lifetime, was seen with his head down every day. Gradually, she felt No big deal.
After living there for a while, she still felt that the palace was too big and far away, so she couldn't see her mother every day.
Shanshan wrung his fingers: "Actually, it's nothing special. Jiahe also lived there..."
Wen Jiahe: "..."
Wen Jiahe: "...Yeah!"
The children looked at each other in confusion, their minds in a mess, unable to refute her words for the moment.
The gods and humans fought for a long time, and finally they all pushed the cakes in front of her. Their eyes were bright, waiting for her to tell more about the things in the palace.
Shanshan picked up a piece of snack, thought about it, and said, "Then let me talk about the emperor's treasure vase..."
…
Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Qi Wenyue's life has not been good recently.
At first, she was imprisoned by Mrs. Jiang. As the head mother of the house, she couldn't even leave the house. The housekeeping rights were taken away by Mrs. Jiang. There were servants bringing food every day, and there were two fierce-looking old ladies with rattan whips. Come and tell her the rules. If she makes one or two mistakes, the cane whip will be whipped down mercilessly, making her miserable.
Fortunately, as the wife of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, every government movement had to ask her to come forward. Mrs. Jiang said she was seriously ill and took her place several times. She was afraid that outsiders would gossip, so she let her go.
Qi Wenyue didn't dare to complain even after coming out.
Just because the Xuanping Hou Mansion also knew about her life experience!
When Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion sent the steward to Yuncheng to pick him up, Manager Qian didn't hide it. Not only did he tell the truth about the mistake, but he even boasted about the Mansion in small talk. That was a major event in Yuncheng, and everyone in Yuncheng knew about it. Nowadays, many people are happy to say that the Wen family's mother and daughter have lived in the capital, and they don't know how rich and prosperous they live.
That day, Mrs. Jiang became suspicious and ordered people to go to Yuncheng to investigate. The people who were sent did not need to waste much time to inquire, and soon learned the cause and effect from the enthusiastic people. The truth that Mrs. Hou was a merchant came to light.
Qi Wenyue still had some complaints. When she heard about the Dongchuang incident, she couldn't sleep for several days and nights. She was worried and worried, fearing that the Xuanping Houfu would kick her out of the Houfu after learning the truth. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang suppressed the matter and ordered her servants not to mention it again.
After being imprisoned for a few more days, Qi Wenyue no longer had any complaints in her heart when she saw Mrs. Jiang again.
Mrs. Jiang's expression towards her became even colder, and she didn't soften even a little bit when she saw her approaching with lowered eyebrows.
"From now on, you should stay at home and educate your children well, and don't cause any more trouble. As for the rest, if you and I don't mention it, no one will know about it." Mrs. Jiang said, "Make note of all the rules that grandma told you. Already?"
Qi Wenyue obediently said: "I'll remember it."
"It would be great if you really remember it."
Mrs. Jiang did not want to say more to her, "It was Mr. Qi's birthday a few days ago. The Qi family sent people over to ask several times. I gave you gifts and returned them for you. Since you already know the rules, I'll go back tomorrow. You know what to say and what not to say."
Qi Wenyue said respectfully: "My daughter-in-law knows."
"Go back. It's time for school to end."
Only then did Qi Wenyue retire.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she just felt that all the servants she met along the way seemed to know her secrets and were snickering secretly in corners she didn't know about. But the words of rules still rang in her ears, and she tightened her face and did not look back.
Not long after, the carriage came back from the school.
Jiang Huirou pouted and came back unhappy all the way.
She walked in and said, "Mom, I want to enter the palace too!"
Qi Wenyue first glanced outside cautiously, walked over and closed the door tightly before saying, "What kind of place do you think the palace is? Can't you just enter when you want?"
"But Wen Shan left!"
"Wen Shan?!" Her eyelids twitched: "What happened to her?"
"Not only did she enter the palace, she also lived in the palace for several days." Jiang Huirou said angrily: "The whole school has spread the word, everyone knows!"
"..."
Qi Wenyue tightened the veil: Why is it Wen Shan again?
But she had just learned a lesson and did not dare to make any judgments at this time. She quickly thought of something.
After she came out of confinement, she heard about the affairs of the Wen family and the Gao family. There was an uproar in the capital, and almost everyone was aware of it. Later, there was suddenly no news, and even the Gao family was incredibly calm.
"What about the Gao family? With so many children of the Gao family in school, they didn't do anything to Wen Shan?"
Jiang Huirou shook her head: "I don't know."
Gao Yuan took the initiative to lower his head to show his goodwill. This matter was of course important, but compared with living in the palace, it seemed like a trivial matter. After lunch, the children present spread the word and only mentioned living in the palace without mentioning the performance. Jiang Huirou heard about it from others later, so she didn't know.
But Qi Wenyue was thinking: The Gao family suffered such a big loss for nothing, and Gao Yuan even broke his leg. How could the Gao family give up?
But why is there no action?
Could it be that the Queen Mother blocked it for them?
Seeing her lost in thought, Jiang Huirou shouted again: "Mom, I also want to live in the palace." Now everyone in the school is envious of Wen Shan, Wen Shan is so majestic!
Qi Wenyue came to his senses and said angrily: "What can I do? You go to your father."
Jiang Huirou pursed her lips and stopped mentioning it.
…
On the second day, Qi Wenyue prepared a gift and returned to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.
When she saw Mrs. Qi, she couldn't help but cry again.
When Mrs. Qi heard what happened, she hugged her daughter in panic. She also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Mrs. Jiang didn't intend to care about it.
"The Hou Mansion is loyal and sincere, since Mrs. Jiang is not going to pursue the matter, just pretend that this matter has never happened and don't mention it again." Mrs. Qi took her daughter and warned her carefully: "Although I don't mention it, the grudge is inevitable. Your mother-in-law My mother is always mean, so I won’t be able to use this to make things difficult in the future. But this matter is something that I have done wrong first. If we talk about it again, don’t argue, just admit your mistake. Please bear with it for a while longer, as time goes by , if no one mentions it, it will naturally be forgotten.”
Qi Wenyue nodded repeatedly, but still frowned.
"How could you forget?" She couldn't help complaining: "Qing Niang and Sister Shan are in the capital, and they even showed their faces in front of the Queen Mother. They offended the Gao family a few days ago, and the Queen Mother actually helped them block the Gao family. The family’s revenge. They have only been in the capital for a short time, but they have already made a big splash. Who in the capital doesn’t recognize them now?”
The misunderstanding has already happened. Even if the Xuanping Marquis Mansion doesn't mention it, can it really be treated as if nothing happened?
At the beginning, this marriage was a finger-to-tip marriage. If there was no mistake, the current Mrs. Xuanpinghou would be Wen Yiqing!
As long as Wen Yiqing is in the capital, once he becomes famous, he reminds the Hou family. The more limelight the merchant mother and daughter became, the more embarrassed she became.
Who knows if Mrs. Jiang will change her mind?
If one day Wen Yiqing outshines her, will Mrs. Jiang regret it and want Wen Yiqing to be the Madam Hou?
Qi Wenyue twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Mom, can't we let Qing Niang return to Yuncheng?"
Mrs. Qi's face didn't look good either, and she said in a firm tone: "Why don't I want to? She won't listen to me now. Last time I went to invite her, but she just kicked out the steward she sent. She doesn't give face to her. Are you asking me to show her cold face?"
Firstly, she couldn't lose face, and secondly, she couldn't do anything.
Although Wen Yiqing was just a young businesswoman, she managed to get close to the eldest princess and the queen mother. The little girl Wen Shan also got close to the prince, and there was also Mr. He who supported the two of them. Even if she wanted to do something, she still had to weigh the consequences of offending Wen Yiqing. Simply pretend that you have never given birth to this daughter, and keep out of sight.
Mrs. Qi was secretly annoyed: If she had known that Wen Yiqing would have such luck, she shouldn't have acted so cruelly in the first place. It's better now, I'm no longer a human being.
Facing her daughter, she could only comfort her: "Don't worry, what she said originally was that she spoke in front of the Queen Mother. Since she didn't bring it up again, she planned to treat it as if it never happened. You can serve the Marquis with peace of mind, Mrs. Jiang has always done things properly, if she says she won't mention it, she will definitely never mention it again."
But it was about him, so how could Qi Wenyue feel at ease.
She stayed at the uncle's house for most of the day. She came in feeling depressed, and when she came out she was not even less depressed.
The first half of her life was smooth sailing, she grew up well-dressed and well-fed, and married into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and became his wife. Her husband had already inherited the title at a young age and was highly valued by the emperor. She also gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Jiang family. As long as her husband does not make mistakes, he will only get better and better in the future. When he is old, he will also be highly respected. old lady.
But just because of Wen Yiqing's arrival, everything is like a delicate porcelain vase placed on the edge of the table, teetering on the edge, and will be shattered into pieces if you are not careful.
She went from being the daughter of an uncle to being a merchant girl. The Jiang family might divorce her because of this matter, but there was nothing she could do.
How could she be willing to do so!
The carriage drove through the streets and passed by the Wen family's shop. Qi Wenyue lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
There was an endless stream of customers coming to the rouge shop, and she felt chest tightness and boredom after just one glance.
She lowered the car curtain and suddenly thought of something.
He said to the coachman: "Go to Gao Guogong's Mansion."
…
Mrs. Gao had been frightened before, and then she fell ill. There were a lot of troubles in the Gao family these days, and many people were asking about her secretly and openly. She simply stayed behind closed doors to cultivate her health.
Just after drinking the medicine, I heard that Mrs. Xuanpinghou was visiting. She happened to be in good spirits today, so Mrs. Gao nodded in response.
The aroma of medicine filled the room. Qi Wenyue came in and talked a little about the family affairs. She had not left the house for a long time to interact with people, and her mind was filled with the rules she had learned these days. Mrs. Gao had to deal with it for a few words, but then she just felt bored.
"Mrs. Jiang, if you have any questions, you might as well speak up."
Qi Wenyue then said: "I also heard about the horse riding in the downtown area a few days ago. I have been busy with chores these days, and I am here to bother you now. I hope Mrs. Gao is not surprised."
Qi Wenyue also has plans.
Since neither the Hou Mansion nor the Bo Mansion can help her, she might as well come to the Gao family.
The Gao family originally let the Wen family go, but they must have stopped mentioning it for the sake of the Queen Mother, and because something suddenly happened at home, they just let it go. But how could the Gao family be willing to suffer such a painful loss for nothing? Ding, like her, also harbors hatred towards the Wen family's mother and daughter.
Say it again. Although I don’t know why the Gao family offended the emperor, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. With the relationship between the Queen Mother and Mrs. Gao, it will be a matter of time before they return to their peak. If she could use Wen Yiqing's incident to get along with Mrs. Gao, wouldn't it be even better if she could get help from the Gao family in the future?
Mrs. Gao was extremely annoyed.
I don’t know how many people have inquired about these things openly or secretly. I thought this matter had been kept low-key, but I didn’t expect it to be brought up again today.
She said with a cold face: "If Mrs. Jiang has nothing to do, please come back. I'm tired."
"Mrs. Gao." Qi Wenyue said hurriedly: "I came to see Mrs. Gao today, but unlike others, I came here not for the Gao family, but for one person."
"For one person?"
"Mrs. Gao also recognizes that man's surname is Wen, and he is the shopkeeper of a rouge shop in Beijing."
Mrs. Gao paused.
The corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, with a look of impatience on her face, but she slowly withdrew her movements to get up, and raised her hand to ask the servant to bring tea.
"How does Mrs. Jiang recognize a business woman?"
"What Madam Gao doesn't know is that Wen Qingniang is originally from Yuncheng, and she has some indirect relationship with the Qi family, so when she came to the capital, she stayed with the Qi family for a few days."
"oh?"
Mrs. Gao suddenly became interested. When she looked at Mrs. Xuanpinghou in front of her, even her stupidity seemed to have turned into a wise fool.
Mrs. Gao thought to herself: How come the Qi family has such good luck, and even had a favor with Madam Wen to take her in? When Lady Wen enters the palace in the future, and the mother is more valuable than the daughter, won't the Qi family be able to turn around in one day?
There is such a good thing in the world, why does it fall on the Qi family instead of the Gao family? !
Mrs. Gao said kindly: "I didn't expect there to be such a connection."
Qi Wenyue knew something was going on as soon as she heard it, and immediately said: "I heard that something happened to Mr. Gao. I couldn't believe it at first. That Wen Qingniang is so brave. She is just a small businessman, and she dares to make trouble in the capital. Mrs. Gao also What I don’t know is that Wen Qingniang’s daughter has entered Qingsong Academy, but she doesn’t know how to study hard and often makes troubles. She is really arrogant.”
……etc?
Mrs. Gao's expression froze.
"Mrs. Jiang said this because she has a grudge against Madam Wen?"
"I met Wen Qingniang a few times when she lived in the uncle's house, and I knew she was a vulgar and rude person."
Mrs. Gao: "..."
She picked up the teacup and took a calm sip.
Qi Wenyue continued: "I came to see Mrs. Gao today and heard about this matter. I really can't stand it. That Wen Qingniang is just a businessman, how dare you take the important family in the capital seriously? In my opinion , He should rub off her majesty so that she can know how to be humble."
Mrs. Gao suddenly opened her eyes wide.
She took a long breath and let it out slowly. Except for a moment of surprise, her expression did not change at all.
Mrs. Gao asked calmly: "Mrs. Jiang, what do you think should be done?"
Qi Wenyue said flatteringly: "If you ask me, it would be better to drive her out of the capital. Out of sight and out of mind, she would not dare to cause trouble again."
"..."
Mrs. Gao took another sip of tea.
She thought to herself: Do the Qi family know Wen Shan’s life experience?
If he knew, did he want to deliberately harm his Gao family? If you don't know, but you beg her to deal with a merchant in a roundabout way, or do you want to harm the Gao family? !
"Mrs. Gao..."
Mrs. Gao put down her cup and made a thud, her face even colder: "Come, send Mrs. Jiang off."
Qi Wenyue was horrified: "Mrs. Gao!?"
Mrs. Gao closed her eyes, not wanting to talk to her anymore. Qi Wenyue wanted to say something, but the servant had already made a gesture to ask people to leave, so she had no choice but to leave.
After the people left, Mrs. Gao opened her eyes.
She summoned a nun and asked, "What old grudge does Mrs. Xuanpinghou have with the Wen family's wife?"
Mammy was well-informed and responded at this time: "It is what Mrs. Xuanpinghou said that when Madam Wen first came to the capital, she lived in Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion for a while."
"That's it?"
"Mrs. Jiang seems to have caused a lot of trouble for the Wen family, but I haven't heard of anything else."
Mrs. Gao was thoughtful.
She also knew that the Qi family was accustomed to putting down those who were inferior and flattering those who were superior. However, Mrs. Xuanping Hou lived in the Hou Mansion every day. How many times could she return to her parents' home and how many times could she meet her?
Even if they have encountered each other, if there is any grudge, she is a dignified Madam Hou, and she will directly reach out to avenge her, why would she ask her lover to help in a roundabout way?
"Go." Mrs. Gao ordered: "Go and check, Mrs. Wen... No, there is no need to check on Mrs. Wen, just go and find out what happened to the Qi family since Mrs. Wen came to Beijing."
The Qi family must be hiding something.
…
After returning from the palace, life was no different from before.
Shan Shan is famous in school.
Every child heard about her living in the palace, and everyone wanted to come to her to hear about it. Shanshan talked about it several times, and even she got tired of talking about it. Later, she became impatient and didn't want to talk anymore. The child's interest came and went quickly. The next day, a doll that could make sounds of its own appeared in Zhenbaozhai, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
On the next holiday day at school, she went to the palace to play with the Queen Mother as promised, and returned home with a cartload of gifts. After that, she began to be tortured by countless homework.
After being lazy for a while, she missed a lot of homework. The teacher in the school would not turn around to give lectures just because she was alone. Shanshan's eyes were dazed during class every day, and she couldn't read a single word of the new homework. clear. I had no choice but to start tutoring.
Mr. He, who usually loves tutoring her, seems to have suddenly become very busy and is rarely seen even in school. The prince wanted to give her extra lessons, but he was busy with official duties and couldn't find the time to do it. Even her mother was suddenly so busy that she often only saw people in the middle of the night. When she asked the wet nurse, she was also confused. Shanshan also went to the next door with his homework several times to look for him, but he didn't see the emperor.
In the end, Wen Jiahe took the initiative to ask Ying to go home with him after attending classes during the day, so that he could make up for her missed studies. At night, after Shitou finished practicing martial arts, he took her back with him.
In this way, Shanshan worked hard for a while before finally regaining the previous lazy progress and avoiding the punishment of being slapped in the palm of his hand.
Another day, school is on holiday.
Shanshan slept until three o'clock in the morning. When she got up, Shitou had already gone out to learn martial arts. Wen Yiqing also went to the shop to be busy. She lay lazily on the soft couch and read the newly released Sun Wukong story book by herself.
When it was time for lunch, she thought she was eating alone, but Wen Yiqing came back.
"mother!"
Shanshan put down his chopsticks, happily threw himself into his mother's arms, hugged her neck, and said happily: "I was just thinking about you, and you're back!"
Wen Yiqing was amused by her and carried her to the dinner table.
"Are you going to the shop today?" Shanshan couldn't help but say, "I fell asleep waiting for you last night, and I didn't even wait for you."
"I'm not going today."
"Really?"
Wen Yiqing smiled: "When did mother lie to you? Everything in the shop is already busy."
Shan Shan was so happy that he raised his little feet and even ate half an extra bowl of lunch.
In the afternoon, she lay in her mother's arms, grabbed her mother's clothes and took a nap with her.
When he woke up, Wen Yiqing was gone again.
Shanshan didn't care either.
Her mother was always busy, either in the shop or in the study. After taking a nap with her mother, she felt satisfied. She opened the storybook of Sun Wukong that she had not finished reading in the morning and continued to read it with gusto.
In the afternoon, Shitou came back from studying martial arts at the General's Mansion and brought her a small windmill he bought on the road.
Shanshan liked it so much that she took a big breath, puffed her face and blew it towards the windmill. When the wind blew, the blades of the windmill started to rotate. She pursed her lips in amusement, and the little knot on her head swayed in the air.
"I'm going to show my mother."
After saying that, Shanshan put down the half-read copy of Sun Wukong's story book and ran out happily.
"mother!"
Shanshan ran over with a small windmill in hand and pushed open the study door.
It was empty with no one inside. She scratched her head and was about to turn around and run out to find someone else when she suddenly heard some noise. She looked over and saw a paper bird fluttering its wings and landing on the table. .
Huh?
She leaned forward curiously.
Shanshan picked up the paper bird and saw that there were still ink stains on the bird's wings. She put down the windmill and carefully unfolded the paper bird. Sure enough, there was something written on it.
There was no signature, and no one said who would receive it. There was only a short sentence, asking to meet at the house next door.
The emperor's uncle lived in the house next door. In this family, she was the only one who met the emperor's uncle in the house next door every day.
That must be for her!
Shanshan finished reading slowly, picked up his little windmill, and ran out happily.
"Brother Shitou——"
"Look what I found-"
